One of the big advantages that other luxury automakers have traditionally had over Cadillac is the variations available. That would typically include a coupe, convertible, and most times, a wagon. So for 2010, Cadillac is getting into the game by offering its first wagon – that isn’t a Hearse.  Based on the popular sedan, the Sports Wagon uses the same 270-hp 3.0-litre V6 and 304-hp 3.6-litre V6, six-speed transmissions and rear- or all-wheel drive. What it adds is a hatch that opens to a flexible and large cargo area that’s right in line with the CTS’ rivals. Inside, the cabin remains a wonderful place with top-notch materials and features.


Pros

One step closer to parity with Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz

Cons

Traditional Cadillac taillights create big blind spots
